Once upon a time, in a farmyard, there was a duck named Chuck. Chuck was always getting stuck in silly places. One day, he got stuck in a truck's tire and couldn't get out! The farmer had to pluck him out with his strong arms. Chuck was so grateful that he decided to give the farmer a buck as a reward. But the farmer just chuckled and said, "Keep your buck, Chuck. Just don't get stuck in any more trucks!" And from that day on, Chuck made sure to cluck and quack extra loud so the truck driver could hear him and avoid running over him!
